- I had the same problem with different Borland products and I have found
- only one way to overcome it.
- First, modify your CONFIG.SYS file to remove all memory commanders
- such as HIMEM, MC, QEMM, QRAM etc.
- Second, run DPMIINST.EXE. A20 will have been disabled at that time and
- DPMIINST will make some test and put your machine into its database.
- Last, you can restore your CONFIG.SYS and get to work.
-
- BTW, what is Turbo C++ 3.0? Does it have Windows support?
- Is it identical to Borland C++ 3.0?
-
- Hope this helps,
